I'm sorry but that must be bullshit, I've had a 20-30k total cost in my gear for.....4 gens? Out of 6. Therefore I believe it must be a .2% of time played. In the past two gens I think i've gotten all thine hard work about two times, when before, when I was using the same gear, was getting it once every other week. I think it's just some obscure chance and it is similar to that of gambling. You lose most of the time, but then you win sometimes which keeps you going. I mean I have 93 skill points in leather gloves, so it's not like i haven't gotten it regularly, before these last two gens.
